Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed as moot. The Director had initially denied the petition, concluding the beneficiary was no longer exempt from the H-1B numerical cap. However, the AAO found that the petitioner had since filed another H-1B petition for the same beneficiary which was approved, making the current appeal unnecessary.
